Happy Christmas cats - one year on ...
30 December 2016
CP kittens Autumn and Amelie were adopted in December 2015, and their adopter, Sue of Burntwood, has made contact to tell us how wonderfully they have come-on in the last 12 months – and how loved they are.
Says Sue: “Sheila, you may recall I came with my two daughters Charlotte and Beth to your house on the 16th December 2015 and adopted two sisters you had named Nina and Naomi. We renamed them Autumn and Amelie.
“We just wanted to let you know a year on that they settled in really well and are very placid, contented and affectionate cats - constantly purring. We have yet to hear them growl. They were very shy at first and wary of us for quite a few weeks. Autumn is a ’bimbo’ who loves being brushed and tickled. Amelie is the intelligent one who learnt very quickly how to escape from a locked cat flap and who very politely lifts her paw to say thank you before eating. We love the fact that they have such different personalities. However, they both love being fussed, brushed and cuddled - and don't even mind too much having their teeth brushed. We thought we would send a ‘Happy Cat-Christmas’ photo of our two sweeties.
“Happy New Year to you and every volunteer at Cats Protection, North Birmingham.
Best Wishes, Sue, Charlotte and Beth.”
And we’ve had another good news e-mail from Colin in Erdington, who adopted two beautiful black and white boys in 2015, who are now 'big, sleek, and a real joy'. Says Colin: “Our two - Domino and Sylvester - are a blessing - the boys go out together and tend to return together. They are such good company for each other and love their luxury bedroom. We always put them to bed with their special supper of cat treats and they love it, never a peep from the little darlings. Purdey, our older resident cat, tolerates them and every so often gives them a good lick usually followed by a clip round the ears. I will never understand women!”
CP says ‘never mind Colin – so long as you understand feline behaviour, that will do for us!’
